Smells nice

11 days ago
This self tanning lotion smells really nice like coconut and tropical fruits. However, my main issue is that it can apply streaky. At one point I had a large patch of my knee get too tan while the area next to it was too light. It absorbs very quickly, and the tan lasted a few days.

Seems to work as marketed

13 days ago
I applied the self tanning lotion after washing, exfoliating and drying my legs. The bottle uses a pump to dispense the product. The lotion is semi-thin, whit but applies clear. I had a difficult time knowing if the lotion was applied evenly, but I suppose I did an ok job on my legs. My feet did turn out orange, but may be I accidentally applied it a little heavier than I realized. I didn’t notice a scent until a couple of hours later. He smell is exactly what you might expect, it smells like any other self tanning lotion. If I could make one change it would be for the lotion to apply colored so I could see where it has been applied.

An ok tanning lotion

16 days ago
This tanning lotion was lightweight and easy to to apply. The smell wasn’t overly off putting but does have a light scent. The color is a little too bronze in my opinion.

Ok so I am so new to the self tanning world but I love this stuff! It’s so easy to use, doesn’t stain anything and is nice and moisturizing. I could tell a difference the next morning and it lasted for a few days! It also smells good :) Big fan!

Quite nice

18 days ago
I appreciate the subtle sun kissed glow this gives, rather than an orange fake tan look. The tan doesn’t last that long if you don’t maintain - maybe like 3 days if you skip exfoliating for those days. It has a slight smell (similar to Jergens self tanner). I don’t mind the smell. This bottle is small so consider how you’d like to apply for it to blend well with the rest of your skin. Since its texture is thinner than most other self tanning lotions, it does dry quickly. I would say exfoliate very well before applying for this same reason. I don’t sit in the sun usually so for me this was great.

Effortless sun-kissed look

24 days ago
I received this product from influencer for my honest incentivized review. I really like this self-tanning lotion! It gives a natural-looking glow without looking too orange. The formula feels lightweight, smooth, and hydrating on the skin, and I love that it works for both face and body. It applies easily and doesn’t feel sticky. Overall, a great product for an easy sun-kissed look!

I love this bronzing lotion. It smells delicious and leaves a beautiful glow that you can build up in a daily basis. It is easy to apply and the texture is just like a regular lotion. It’s a must try!

Improved

a month ago
Ive used their self-tanning products in the past, and Im happy to say, I think they improved! My thoughts - I dont think its as moisturizing as a real lotion, so i still had regular lotion when applying - its not perfectly streak free, but improvement from past. - barely there scent - yay! - I think it works well when you have a base tan and want to extend it

This is a decent gradual tanner. The scent is the typical self tan scent but it isn’t too overpowering. The lotion consistency is pretty easy to apply.

Well Performing

I was pleasantly surprised with the Sublime self tanner. It applied really easily without the typical self tanner strong scent. It delivered a natural looking tan that stayed true to form for a few days without additional application. I will definitely continue use.

Not for me

a month ago
I have tried several tanning lotions and oils. With some brands I have been able to find success, but most of them leave my skin looking orange and smelling terrible. Unfortunately, this was also the case with this lotion. The original scent is pleasant but as it develops on my skin, it smelled terrible. The scent lasted for 2 days, so if you don't like the fake tanner scent, just know this one lingers. However, unlike other tanning lotions that I have used, this one was easier to remove off of my skin after using a scrub and some oils. As you can see from my image, the tan was not even although I distributed it evenly all over my skin. I let the lotion fully dry before putting my clothes on and still was left with marks where my pants were touching my skin. On some parts of my legs the lotion had completely rubbed, leaving my skin super blotchy and uneven. The lotion itself is very hydrating and easy spread all over the body. I love the pump applicator that I can easily apply just the right amount on my skin. I am glad I tried this product but unfortunately it wasn't for me, and that's okay.

Glowy Skin

a month ago
I am impressed with this sublime bronze face and body self tanning lotion. First off, it smells great! Smells like a coconut summer scent which I love! It’s white like a lotion, but after a few hours you get a nice glowy l, natural looking tan. I like that it doesn’t give off a tanning scent and you don’t have to wash it off. It’s a win for me!

Beautiful face serum that gives a glow

2 months ago
I use retinol, so it’s kind of hard to use this every single day, but I try to use it on the off days of my rent and also it doesn’t peel or cause any sensitivity. It gives a nice settle glow and it doesn’t smell bad like some other tanners for the face

Subtle glow

2 months ago
L’Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Serum in Lotion is perfect for those that aren’t the best with tanning lotions. This formula gave me a subtle glow. It was lightweight, absorbed quickly, left no tackiness. It blends easily and left no streaks. I also found it didn’t transfer on my clothes. It had lasted a few days. Definitely a new staple in my routine.

Soft glow. No harsh scent!

2 months ago
I’m very pale yet also very red/pink. This gives a subtle glow without turning orange. It also has a pleasant scent, which I appreciate because other self-tanners I’ve tried generally smell bad or too strong. This is pleasant and subtle. East to apply. No residue or streaking if applied correctly.

I am going to be honest. At first I thought that this product would not work but I was totally wrong. It did work very well!!!! So far i did only one application and the results are very good. It is really amazing!!! I love the smell and the texture is very nice. The color tanning is very nice and still looks good after 4 days that I did the application and leaves no residue. Very very good product!!!!!

No streaks!!

2 months ago
These self tanning formulas have come a long way!!! L’Oréal Paris Sublime bronze hydrating self tanning serum in lotion makes tanning at home really easy. I make sure to exfoliate my skin before application so it applies better. I also apply with latex gloves. This formula is lightweight and blends out easily. Just spread it anyway you want it to go and allow it to dry down before putting on your clothes. I leave it on for at least 4 hours before taking a shower. When I follow the directions, I don’t experience any transfer. Now the important part, this does not look streaky or blotchy on skin. It’s just so easy!!

Patchy patchy patchy

This product was very disappointing for me. I had high hopes. I’m a seasoned at home tanner. This came out extremely PATCHY. It was easy to apply & the serum like texture was very nice. So sad this product didn’t work for me.

Lightweight and Easy to Apply!

2 months ago
Very nice! This tanner is lightweight and easy to apply. I love the cream/serum consistency. Smells like a classic tanning lotion, which is a pleasant tropical scent. After applying this on my hand for photos, I wiped it away, but it still left coloration on my skin. It applied beautifully with a brush. I look forward to using it all summer.

Oh wow!

2 months ago
Normally I am very pale complexted. This self tanning lotion gave me a beautiful glow. I feel like the longer it developed the browner it turned. I was a little worried because of how orange it looked at first but it’s beautiful. You have to be very careful to pre moisturize dry areas like elbows, feet, ankles, and fingers before applying. It did settle a bit on those areas. It didn’t appear streaky. It dried super fast so I didn’t notice transfer on clothes or bedding. Make sure to wash your hands or they will be orangey. I had a time with my hands because the lotion didn’t develop very good because of how much I was my hands. It lasted about 3 days before I reapplied. It did make my face break out so I don’t recommend putting it on sensitive skin.

I have really pale skin and to me, this product was pretty streaky. I’ve tried numerous other brands so I know what I’m looking for and this is just not it. The packaging is simple and easy to use and has a twist lock pump. I really wasn’t happy with what I ended up with after exfoliating and adding lotion beforehand to the places like my feet and ankles as well as my knees. And there’s no color to the actual product so you can’t see where you need to blend or apply more to avoid streaks. The product does moisturize and does add plumpness to the areas it’s applied. But I would never feel confident enough to apply it to my face where the streaks could be seen easier. And there’s also the fact that it’s very heavily fragranced and I know it would absolutely break me out. I left it on overnight and when I woke up I could smell the same typical self tanner stink that most of the tanners have. And it was super strong. For all these reasons I wouldn’t recommend it. And it didn’t just streak on the tricky areas. It was streaky all over my leg, up and down my leg. And it took forever to dry down, however, it did not stain my clothes or sheets. But unfortunately, it’s a no go for me.

Smells great!

2 months ago
I applied this self tanning serum on my left leg. I applied a lot since I’m naturally tan and i followed the directions and waited 2 hours. Unfortunately it’s the same color as my skin tone but i still love the smell of it! It comes out white and smells sooo good. It absorbs fast and doesn’t get on clothing. Even though it doesn’t quite get me tan i will still use it in the summer

Tans as advertised!

2 months ago
Was very interested in this as it doesnt need to be rinsed off and works for both the face and body. It tans very well and if you need a deeper than it easily tans your skin with a second application and works within 1-2 hours! Also wears off nicely and though im not a big fan of a tanner smell thats left behind this one smells lighter than most ive tried which is a plus!

Self tanning serum

Loreal paris sublime bronze hydrating self tanning serum lotion is so hydrating and very easy to use! I love the non greasy formula making it comfortable to leave on and the serumdoes not transfer to your clothing!

Unnatural color

2 months ago
I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I really wanted to love this product, but it gave my moderately fair skin an unnatural color. I was careful around my ankles, but it left them looking streaky. Another issue I have is the smell. It has a tanning bed smell to it that I find undesirable. There was no residue or stains on my clothes/sheets. Unfortunately, this lotion was a no go for me.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your honest review of our Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self-Tanning Serum-In-Lotion. We are sorry to hear that the color and scent didn't meet your expectations and that you experienced some streaking around your ankles. To help achieve the most even finish, we recommend focusing on thorough exfoliation before application and using a very light hand around drier areas like ankles and knees.

Nice formula…orange color.

2 months ago
Sooo I consider myself an amateur expert self tanner. Haha. I even own a spray tan machine that I use on myself but a lot of the time I simply prefer the lotions or mousses because I just don’t want to get the whole machine out and make a mess. With that said… the color on this is not great. Rather orange and that is MY BIGGEST self tanning fear. Looking like an oompaloompa is not on my bingo card for any year and I’m glad I tried this is the summer because…well…we are entering Willy Wonka territory. So, unless you have very olive skin this is not the color for you. I still gave it 3 stars for good reasons. The lotion is smooth and light. Left no streaks. I applied with my hands (which I would never normally do) but I wanted to try it. Washed my hands after and no self tanner hand disasters. It also did not transfer onto my clothes and seems to be relatively hydrating. All in all the formula is really nice but the color is off. I would not buy again but might work for some of you.

Beautiful glow

2 months ago
I was weary about this to be honest. I haven’t had the best luck with self tanners, but the serum aspect had me curious. These results are after one use and I thought it was pretty good! It did not transfer onto my clothes, it was odor free and didn’t leave me feeling sticky. The color was a soft tan versus orange, so that’s great. I only wish the bottle were bigger and the product were more buildable and you didn’t have to use so much.

Convenient tan

2 months ago
This is the first time I’ve heard of a tanning lotion that had technology to tan and bronze you without pigment to stain your clothes and sheets. It smells beachy like coconut and does apply like a lotion. I did once application and didn’t see much difference but the next day I did another application and I’m definitely more bronze, I wish I took a before picture but on my review you can see the line of demarcation between my skin that didn’t get the 2 layers of L’Oréal serum in lotion. It went on like lotion, it wasn’t greasy, and it didn’t stain anything I wore or laid on.

This bronzer is amazing. It’s made to blend to any skin tone and it such a delight. Smooth easy application with no smell. As long as you follow the directions no leak on clothing or streaks.

It works!

This scentless self tanning lotion really works. It goes on as a white lotion but, brings a good tan to your skin. It absorbs well and the drying time is fast. I’m very impressed.

Pretty good

This product scared me at first but it is very gradual and natural so no orange color that you are stuck with for a week scrubbing. The smell doesn't smell like most self tanners which is a plus for me. Goes on smoothly and hydrated, it also dries pretty quickly. Haven't got patchiness yet but I've only tried the product two times now.

Don't do it by hand it WILL MAKE THEM BROWN

2 months ago
Okay does it work Yes but it's very sneaky because it's a lotion a white lotion and it takes two to four hours to process so when you think you got it off your hands and then 4 hours go by and they turn brown in between your fingers and everything yeah my suggestion is it does work but you better use something beside your hand to put it on This is not a lotion.

Absolutely NOT

2 months ago
I was so excited for a serum and bronzing product in one. I had high hopes of soft skin and a subtle glow. Instead, I got a rash, no glow and a headache from the intense perfume in this product. It also stained my towel after I showered which is shocking since I see no color change on my skin. Straight to the trash with this one!

I want to be suspiciously tan for the winter...

2 months ago
Really nice lotion! First photo shows the texture and second shows the result after a day of application on the right leg. Light and refreshing on the skin without an offensive scent like other drugstore tanners. Feels nice on the skin and dried down without any residue feeling. The result wasn't intense but I believe another application layer would get to the preferred shade for me. Easy application - after testing on body I think it's okay to try on my face as well. Looking forward to summer!

Good formula and nice color

2 months ago
I enjoyed that this is lotion formula but it made it a little difficult to see wear and how much you used on each area. The application wasn’t even. You can see streaks on my leg. It probably takes practice to get it even and right. I tried not to use that much product but it did provide a light tan that looks pretty natural. I don’t look orange or too dark. I only went up to my knee to show the difference in color. You can see in the picture that it did in fact tan me lightly. Can’t wait to use it in the summer because I don’t like to tan in the sun.
